From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 77
"Ginseng is used as firewood, I rely on it! I rely on it!"

Li Mu said.

The price of ginseng in later generations ranges from 4000 yuan to [-] yuan per catty. There are still artificial breeding, and the price has been reduced; but now, all of them are wild ginseng, and the price is very expensive.

"It can't be fake, it can't be framed by some people!" Li Mu said.

"I hope it's fake, it's framing!" Li Gong said: "I thought I was a nobleman, but when I arrived at the Zheng Mansion, I realized what low-key luxury is. It turns out that I am not a nobleman, I am just a bumpkin!"

"Go, let's go now!"

Li Mu said.

"It's getting dark, let's go tomorrow!" Li Gong said.

"Let's go now, I can't wait!" Li Mu said.

"Okay!" Li Gong said.

The two acted resolutely and left as soon as they said they would, and soon arrived at the Zheng family's mansion.

The Zheng family's mansion is located in the west of the city. It has a huge courtyard. It looks old and elegant from the outside. Compared with the prefect of Jinling, such a courtyard can only be regarded as low-key and extremely ordinary.

At this moment, there are already soldiers guarding the Zheng residence, and the family and women are mainly in the backyard.

Entering Zheng's mansion, there are only three entrances and three exits, about a dozen rooms, and the back garden, etc. It looks extremely ordinary.

Walking around in the courtyard, the furniture and decorations here are all simple and simple, giving people a plain and clean feeling.

The public's evaluation of Zheng Yong can be described as an upright official, worthy of the name.

"Don't worry, go to the backyard and have a look!" Li Gong said.

Said, walked into the kitchen.

In the middle of the kitchen, Li Gong stepped forward to open a firewood basket, and saw a pile of dry firewood in it, but a closer look was a pile of ginseng.

"Ginseng is very precious to ordinary people, but to us, it's nothing. We eat ginseng for every meal, and it doesn't cost much. But Zheng Yong is too rich, so he doesn't eat ginseng as firewood. Burn it." Li Gong said: "I was wondering why I asked the chef why he did this?"

"As a result, the chef said that the choy sum grown in the folk is rustic, which is not conducive to health preservation. You can use ginseng as firewood, and the choy sum produced is not rustic. After trying a few times, the result is really not rustic, and the taste is not bad. It is said that two thousand catties of ginseng is only enough firewood for a month."

"This is the enjoyment of the rich. It turns out that I am not a young master, but a bumpkin!"

Li Gong laughed at himself.

A flash of anger flashed in Li Mu's eyes, he recruited the servants, and asked.

As a result, the answer is outrageous.

"It might be a fake!" Li Mu said.

"Fake, it's impossible!" Li Gong said.

"Anything is possible!" Li Mu said, "For example, throwing a basket of ginseng over directly, and buying a few servants, but there is no evidence, and evidence is created!"

With that said, Li Mu squatted down, shoveled out a pile of ashes from the cooking stove, and threw them aside.

He took another ginseng and burned it directly, and quickly burned it to ashes.

Comparing the two piles of ashes, the results are extremely similar.

The ashes in the pots and stoves are all ashes of ginseng.

This also shows that this basket of ginseng was not temporarily planted and framed, but has been used for a long, long time.

Li Mu said: "The world is not peaceful, food and clothing have not been solved in many areas, and disasters occur every year, many people starve to death... Zheng Yong's actions are not wronged!"

"How much money was stolen from the house!" Li Mu asked.

"Not much, not much, the money is really not much!" Li Gong said: "The silver taels are less than 20 taels. Burning two thousand catties of ginseng a month, and a catty of ginseng at ten taels of silver, consumes at least 2 taels of silver a month. How much money was spent, it’s really hard to say, hard to say!”

Li Mu was silent.

Poverty limits his imagination.

The poor can never imagine what kind of life the rich live.

People died, money was not spent, it was tragic.

As a result, many people died and money was spent.

After all, like in TV dramas, eating noodles with soy sauce, the tens of millions in the family have not moved a cent, which is too little.

"The matter has come to this point, it can be over, and it can be explained to His Majesty!! Li Gong said: "The three of us will join hands and hand it over to His Majesty... As for how to deal with it, it is up to Your Majesty!" "

"finished!"

Li Mu said: "The matter is not over yet! The matter is not over yet! For example, two thousand catties of ginseng per month is too large, where did Zheng Yong buy it; and Zheng Yong's unknown source of property... the source of large quantities of ginseng, and Unidentified properties, etc., all of which need to be investigated!"

"Do you really want to investigate? Pull up the radish and bring up the mud!" Li Gong hesitated.

"There is no way out!" Li Mu said, "Little Marquis, you can retreat. Now retreat, return to the imperial capital, and inherit your father's title as usual, and become the Marquis of Liaoyuan!"

"Retreat?" Li Gong's eyes flashed firmness, "Retreat is impossible!"

Just kidding, the Marquis title cannot be inherited.

He didn't want the world to say that that man was the son of Liao Yuanhou, but that he was the father of Lord Sharpshooter.

"Then let's interrogate, soldiers are precious and fast!"

Li Mu said.

"Okay!" Li Gong nodded.

Direct interrogation of the housekeeper.

"Tell me! Where did the stolen money come from? Where did you buy such a large amount of ginseng?" Leaning on the table, Li Mu was condescending and asked first in the shabby courtroom.

"My lord, I don't know!"

said the official.

"I don't know!" Li Gong snorted coldly, "Sentence!"

Sentencing is simple and brutal. Unjust, false and wrongful convictions may occur, and people will be wronged, but it is the best way to solve cases quickly and find evidence.

Immediately, several yamen servants from the six gates stepped forward and began to torture.

Muscles and bones, hands, eighteen sentences in prison, etc., one after another tortured kung fu was performed, and there were bursts of screams, and it didn't last long. The butler's pants were wet and he had already urinated.

Li Gong said: "Confess, the crime is Zheng Yong's, why should you take the blame for Zheng Yong!"

The official's arms trembled, and he cried: "It's not me, it's not me. I've only been here for a month, and I don't know many things. These former housekeepers and wives know!"

"You're only here for a month, the old housekeeper knows!" Li Gong glanced at Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded.

Li Gong continued: "Old housekeeper, where are you?"

"The old housekeeper's mother is sick, and she recently returned to her hometown! I'm just taking over temporarily!" The official said, "These old ladies know!"

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier, wasting so much of my time!"

A flash of anger flashed in Li Gong's heart, and he waved his hand to drag the official down.

"We can only interrogate Mrs. Zheng directly." Li Gong frowned.

"This is not good!"

Li Mu said: "Madam Zheng has a mandate, so it's not easy to do anything!"

"It's hard to do it, so we have to do it!" Li Gong said, "It's hard for us to do this kind of dirty work, so we have to ask Hua Wuying to do it. Xuanjing Division is specialized in this!"

"I am coming!"

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and Hua Wuying appeared.

After such a thing happened, Hua Wuying couldn't sleep anymore, almost on her feet.

Then, Mrs. Zheng, dressed in filial piety, came to the front hall.

"Tell me, where did so much stolen money come from? And where did you buy so much ginseng?" Hua Wuying asked murderously, wearing the official uniform of Xuanjing Division.

"My lord, these are all done by my husband, I don't know about it!"

Madam Zheng said.

"Really?" Hua Wuying said: "Do you think it is an imperial order, so you can ignore the king's law? Tomorrow, I will report to the emperor to cancel your imperial order. You don't have much time left, think about it! "
